Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR AXS (2026)

Race-fast gravel made simple. The Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR AXS pairs Cervélo’s sharp-handling gravel frame with SRAM’s wireless 1×12 drivetrain for clean looks, wide range and zero faff. The build is tuned for real-world speed: Reserve 30 GR AL tubeless wheels, supple WTB Vulpine 700×45c tyres, and a carbon AB09 flared bar for confident control. A T47 BBright bottom bracket keeps things creak-free, while the SP19 carbon 27.2 seatpost adds long-ride comfort. Finished with clever touches like the Smartpak 400A top-tube bag and Cervélo’s aero thru-axles, it’s ready for racing, fast group dirt, and everything in between.
